By A Correspondent| Impeccable sources inside the visiting delegation revealed to ZimEye that the netball team have threatened to protest over their missing allowances.

This came as the netball team, 48 hrs before their first match, endured another night eating a meal they said was below standard.

The evening meal comprised of small stashes of mince meat and some pieces of potatoes (pictured above).

Furthermore, some of the players are reportedly demoralised as they do not have appropriate shoes for playing their opening match slated for Friday with Sri Lanka.

One source told ZimEye, that as the Zim Gems do not have allowances, many do not have appropriate Netball sporting shoes.

“They can’t even afford the basic netball shoes, the basics which cost £34,99,” the source said.

Do not be surprised to see them refusing to play on Friday, since the Netball President Leticia Chipandu has refused to pay them,” added the source.

The fund for the netball team is down by over $39,000 after Zimbabwe Netball Association president, Leticia Chipandu added to the delegation, people who have nothing to do with the netball team.

When she was interviewed, Chipandu at first promised thst allowances would be paid (while at Manchester Airport last week Friday night), but she would later shift to tell donors that anyone who is requesting an account of funds diestributed should “go to hell.”

Said Chipandu:

“The girls have contracts and we are ready to show anyone who is interested once we are settled at the hotel (Ibis) where we are booked….It is not true that the girls have been paid $50 bond notes…”
